Stop making shitty OPs. This is all we have man, can't you see that?

>implying goons won't say they were "merely pretending just to troll derek"

Christ who even say troll anymore? Fucking old people.

General looks dead. Might as well post my ship getting mindfucked.

>>/v/ occasionally comes by to see and thinks they were right all along and the game is dead

/v/ wasn't even right the first time. The TORtanic wasn't.

That brings the number of times /v/ was right about vidya up to zero

More ships need cozy non-cockpit/bridge glassed in observation decks.

I Would almost(I did and then melted it) buy a caterpillar just for that tractor deck.

Nuuu there were a few good posts in the deleted thread.
Now gone.

HAVE BEST SHIP INSTEAD.

It seems like all of the original ships will have to be reworked for Item 2.0. I wonder if they will just adapt the current designs without change or will the Aurora, Mustang, and 300 series all get bigger.

I still don't know what will happen to 300s and Freelancer variants. They don't even show them in 4.0 ship releases. I have a 325A and a Freelancer DUR and I feel like I will be the biggest douche with worst deal for his money in 3.0. If I don't hear something until near to the release of 3.0, I will melt those and buy Cutlass and Gladius.

I'm sure the Freelancer will be awesome later on. It's supposed to be the hardest to scan your cargo, so a good smuggling ship.

As far as the 300 series, who the fuck knows? Cargo pod underneath maybe?

What's the best way to rank up with Tod McQuinn? I need those grade 5 multis

youtube.com/watch?v=R1ryCDOZ3Xg

As with all the engineers, just bring the right materials. Crafting three modifications of your current grade will unlock the next grade.

You'll want to bring a lot of materials if you're looking to get experimental upgrades.

anyone want to go fuck up the heretics studying xeno ruins

i really hope ayy lmaos are enemies

even if there not you could probably still kill them\

thinking about it the traitorous alliance will probably make friends with the enemy so we will have to purge not only the ayys but the alliance

>All i do is transport biowaste for hours
What am i doing with my life...

considering the original game is in a state of galaxy wide war, yes probably

timeline is probably as follows

frontier -> dangerous -> OG

...

Whales are dangerous creatures when provoked.

poop hauling is still a thing? I thought that got nerfed into the ground

was it a shit way to get money after the nerf

it was a great way to make money, one of the best

it was a pun

...

>planets will actually have colour
shit is gonna be so jarring compared to the blackness of space. I guess that's a good thing.

Can anyone shed some light on how bounties work in ED? I accidentally hit someone and got a 6000cr bounty that is down for 6 days when in the past it was more like 6 minutes and a tiny fine. So I tried buying a Sidewinder and going back to the system where the bounty is so the authorities could kill me, which they did. So I paid the insurance on the Sidewinder, and not only is the bounty still active, but the 2 million or so credits I had yet to collect in my own bounty kills has vanished. Am I doing something wrong or is this game just a pile of retarded shit?

Is there a way to forget about something that you spent 150$ for a whole year? I want to forget about his until either sq42 or 3.0 gets released.

Looking to upgrade my ship, asked in the failed thread, I'll ask again here.

Been flying an Eagle, but want something bigger, more all around, but still fun to fly and good in a fight. Fuck the Cobra, I got money in the bank.

I was recommended the Asp Explorer and the Vulture. Any other ideas, confirming these, etc...

I can't wait to play SpaceEngine

AspX can hold his own in combat with a proper fit, but the vulture is just so much better

a bit pricier is the FAS, which is fantastic now that it has a military internal slot. Needs rank tho

>check out Yuri's weapon reward
>an fsd reboot missile
>nice, i can finally kill these cowards in open
>after some reading find out about 35sec immunity after drive reboot
why Elite developers hate pvp so much, you only lose cargo if you die anyway

FUCK I'm dumb

Vulture is great but if you want to go FAST while being an annoying hard to hit tiny piece of shit that can also go silent, you may want a DBS

Viper mkIV might be alright if you want a combat/multipurpose combo but be prepared for medium ship tier agility. great directional thrusters tho

Archon Fury makes good use of 'em.

He's one of the only dudes I watch; he has a loadout with Li Yong Rui's special multis, one regular multi and a rack of yuri's fsd fuckery missiles on a stealth dbs; I've seen him drop some pretty big game in it.

If you can get the rank the imperial courier is a great choice. Strong shields plus 3 medium hardpoints make it a good fighter. It still counts as multipurpose ship so it can be built for other trades if that's what you want.

How do you max out things like jump range? The wiki says the Python can reach up to 30ly But I've just bought the best FSD for this ship and it is well below that. Is this something to do with the engineer stuff I keep hearing about?

...

A rated FSD, D rated everything else. Makes for a shit ship but it jumps far. Also you can undersize things like the power plant or power distro if you can. makes the ship even shittier, but you get jump range

OR you could go to an engineer that does grade 5 FSD and almost double it with a good grade 5 roll

Yeah a grade 5 fsd will get you a really good jump range. In the mean time you can drop all core modules except FSD down to D grade to increase jump range.

WE MUST PURGE THE HERETICS STUDYING THE FILTHY XENO TECHNOLOGY

check this out

and also look up sidewinder to andaconda

forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/164436-Ship-builds-for-everyone-and-everything!

look at the imperial

I bet you like dicks in your ass

at least i don't have a xeno reproduction organ in mine

>wanting to bolt ayy lmao plasma guns on my ship
>same as wanting dicks i your ass

nice projecting

you're right i just want to go make some forum dads angry

Anyone in Elite Dangerous have that video with the encounter with Thargoids, and getting ganked by a pirate during the cutscene and dying.

>Combat orca
>shields
>no HRPS
>no MRPs
>no chaff
>DPS weapons instead of burst weapons
>lightweight alloys

fine by me

still xenos need to be purged

Are there Thargoids yet?

How uncouth

no if there were i would be on a crusade

...

...

>FAS
Federal something something?

>DBS
Same as above, dunno the acronyms.

Sounds good user, I'll look in to it too. Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I'll take a look.

>doesn't finish the flip to land on the other platform

>tfw don't play star marine because of aimbots and you'll never be at the top of the leaderboards because of exploiters tryhard orgs and cheaters

rather paranoid of you

I get that there's a few out there but I've never encountered an obvious aimbotter, it doesn't have to color your experience. in fact 99% of players being shit evens the scale with potential botters pretty well. I got 1st in the free for all mode the other night for probably the second time in my life in any game.

>you'll never be at the top of the leaderboards because of tryhard

wew stop right there lad

who else should be at the top?

Aimbotting needs fixing though, I can't be bothered to bump into that shit

we will purge together once the xenos show themselves

federal assault ship, diamondback scout

also that guide has terrible loadouts for combat, see for example

i fear that the xenos will form a alliance with the alliance

>federal assault ship, diamondback scout
Thanks. What are the perks of those?

>also that guide has terrible loadouts for combat, see combat orca
kek while that layout blows that sounds fun. might try that eventually for shits

>who else should be at the top?
People who are better.

i'm starting a purge list for any heretics who admit to studying the ruins

now you're just waxing philosophical, what are you saying, that effortless skill should beat time and practice? 'tryhard' is a buzzword, if you're trying hard you're more likely to do well, that's just common sense.

Come at me mon'keigh

>that effortless skill should beat time and practice?
Yes. Time sink and exploiting the stat system should not reward people.

And how do people get better?
If there's some kind of boosting or whatever going on that's obviously shit, but tryhard is a stupid label.

>stat system
you've never even played star citizen have you

the DBS is a tiny piece of shit (for whoever is shooting at it) that is probably the best fighter in its class thanks to its great speed, agility, perfect hardpoint placement and superior amount of utility mounts. Kinda shit shields but that's par for the course at that size

the vulture fits in the same category except it has way too much shields and firepower for its size


FAS is basically a DBS, just bigger and better


I'm basing every comparison on the DBS cause that's the one ship I bought once I got out of an Eagle and fell in love with it. Three anacondas and a corvette later and I still compare combat ships to it

Gotcha I already removed all weapons to get a little extra I didn't realise how far you could take it.

He's not wrong

who wants to go purge the heretics at the ruins

what are "the ruins" I'm curious

is there actually explorable alien architecture somewhere in ED? sounds neat, send pics

>finally make time to watch around the verse
>ben
>surprised to see him alive
>calls the enemy space ships in pirate swarm 'planes'

ah, what?

its just pillars kind of like crop circles but they left some posts up

ether way any people i see studying them are kos

Not him but he might be talking about pic related

I used to play shitloads of E:D but lost interest a while ago. I wanna get back into it but I'm wondering if it's worth getting Horizons as well or if I should just stick to the base game.

if you do you can make forum dads mad by blowing up there ships when there doing a puzzle

Just like planetside 2

>find two respawn vans in the middle of the desert
>one guy is just repeatedly headshotting another as his friend revives him

>99% rep
>mission failed
>mission failed
>mission failed
frontier please fix this shit

Awesome descriptions. Helping me a ton.
So, all my recommendations and approx prices;

>Federal Assault Ship -- 20,000,000 (I'm 11mill short of this, could save up)

>Asp Explorer -- 7,000,000 (not as good as Vulture so forget it)

>Vulture -- 5,000,000 (probably my best choice)

>Imperial Courier -- 3,000,000 (looks sweet, how long does it take to rank up to get it?)

>Diamondback Scout -- 570,000 (solid, but I can afford better)

>Viper MkIV -- 440,000 (ok, but I can afford better)

So either save up for FAS, get the Vulture, or rank up for the Imperial Courier.

What's your purging ship?

if you overcharge that power plant, you'll have enough power to run everything

Chris Roberts should release more content.
Sandi Gardnier should stay the fuck out of this game and stick to her tickle porn fetish "yes search porn hub".
Lisa Ohanian had the best tits.
Dereck Smart was useful to get CR to put up or shut the fuck up.
Ben Lesnick is just there to appease fans.
Evocati is a bunch of try hard whiners and think they are special snowflakes. "yes im in Evocati"
Ship sales with warbonds are stupid, as they do bring in new money but fuck over those who have backed longer.
LTI is a joke and should be made for everyone to kill the grey "fag" market.
Friday Dev show should be geared towards the best of SC players not the Devs.
Weapons are broken, ships armor and subsystem HP is broken, a simple fix could fix this but developer chooses not to due to incompetence of not knowing how to play game.
*Getting bored writing but I could go on and on.

>*Getting bored writing but I could go on and on.

You could, but it would only further prove how little you know

>Ben Lesnick
>"appeasing fans"

lmao

>tfw you get a great kill on some fag in a much better ship and realize shadowplay isn't on
I was drifting backwards firing at him, but thanks to how COMPLETELY FUCKED the flightmodel is the fucking decouple just turns on randomly and realigns you, so it started moving me towards some rocks. this guy was right in my face and I got a rear collision warning, so I slammed on the boost and did a hard upward strafe. he didn't catch it in time and went nose first into the rock, exploding in front of me. fucking great stuff.

speaking of boost and general mechanics, what the fuck are those retards at CIG doing, holy shit! boost is x? bravo you stupid fucks, trying to use freelook, decouple, boost or turning off comstab and gsafe is an absolute shitshow. you pretty much have to hit keys until you get the right one and then hit all the others again to reset what you didn't want, unless you want to stop and look at your hands.

and god damn, did they INCREASE ttk as well? I spent 15 minutes in 1v1 against a 300 series and did not get a single kill despite hammering on that shitter constantly.

oh yeah, and he still won because every now and then my ship would just stop responding and leave me to drift. what the fuck? is this their ebin new fuel mechanic? because there's no goddamn fuel gauge in my ship, so I just randomly lose power with no warning and get thrown out the fucking map or left to try and swing my guns near the other guy until I hit a rock or he picks me off. what the fuck.

all around 0/10 CIG, get your fucking shit together.

Regarding the imperial courier rank. Not too long if you can find a good mission grinding system. Last I checked Aditi was quite good for rank if you took missions from there and delivered to the nearest populated system.

>Ben Lesnick is just there to appease fans.

who gives a shit about leaderboards at this point

>Ben appeases fans
I'd be appeased if they cut him off and put his donut money into new server locations

Try me. Original backer, Evocati, high on the ladder board for Squadron Battles, play in competitive EA Discord server, been to CiG Studio, met CR, ER , etc. Spent over 5k on this game, and am able to afford it without affecting my life.

>competitive
>competitive EA Discord

>>competitive EA Discord
Since you are out of knowing what im talking about then, the top players formed our own Discord where we have competitive battles with one another due to CiG broken ladderboard system. We square off with the best of other orgs.

how do you know who's a top player if you don't trust the leaderboards?
